Description
The Guerrieri Rizzardi estate takes its name from two historically important families: the Guerrieri family has owned vineyards in Bardolino since the 15th century and the Rizzardi family in Negrar (Valpolicella) since the 17th century. At the beginning of the last century, a “new” family estate emerged from the marriage of Count Carlo Rizzardi and Countess
The Estate is farmed organically although it is not certified by choice, the family believe that as they have worked in a responsible biological way for generations, a Certification is not necessary as their customers know their sense of responsibility to the land and nature.
The grapes of this Soave Classico come from a high vineyard, cool climate fruit on the nose leading into the palate which is light in body, but with good density of fruit and an underlying refreshing mineral character persists on the palate.
A perfect accompaniment to Shellfish, Clam Spaghetti, Vegetable Risotto.
